Comment
This coin celebrates a Cossack chronicler, Samiilo Velychko (about 1670–1728), who wrote the first systematic chronicle of Ukrainian Cossack history from the middle of the 17th century through the beginning of the 18th century. While working on his chronicle, full of national patriotism, state-focused views and Cossack freedom-loving ideas, Velychko drew from multiple foreign and domestic sources, while also attempting to provide an in-depth analysis and correct descriptions of historical events and facts.Interesting fact
